How to pay for support when money feels tight

If you’re considering making an investment for your growth, but you’re struggling to make a decision about whether it’s right for you… THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU. It can be scary to say yes to something that stretches you, not just financially but in general. I’ve been there myself MANY MANY MANY times. Case in point: Last year, I hired a personal trainer for the first time in YEARSSS. This decision meant saying NO to a lot of other things that I’m used to spending my budget on (bye-bye fancy lattes and sushi). I even started crying a little bit when I said yes to hiring him -- he was so confused 😅-- but it’s because giving myself the gift of that support made me emotional. It can be tough to receive support, especially support that stretches your comfort zones. Choosing it gave me a rush of fear and gratitude. Hence the tears.  And recently, I made another big decision and chose to invest in a business program even though I don’t have all the external evidence yet that the money is going to show up. I don’t always know HOW it will work out, I just keep listening to my intuition and trusting that it will. Sometimes, that’s just how it is.  You take the leap before the net appears. You decide to TRUST. It’s scary, it can make you emotional, and yet, something inside you just knows that it’s right. If you’re in this space right now, trying to decide: Listen to this episode of Creatives Making Money Listen to your heart and gut Listen to your higher power, and pray on it Ask if this choice, though scary, will EXPAND you to new levels in life. And remember: You CAN’T fuck it up!!!! All decisions are good decisions, so don’t stress yourself thinking it over for too long. Decide like you mean it,Jamie P.S. I know you’ll make the right choice. :-)
